OBITUARY. —It is with feelings ' of more than ordinary regret that we an- nounce the death of Miss Emma Roe, daughter of our esteemed friend, Mr. Thomas Roe, who- passedpeacefully away on Wednesday morning of last week at the early age of twenty years. The deceased young lady had been suf- fering from lung troubles for a length of time, and in all probability the damp, disagreeable weather of the present season hastened her departure. She was a very sensible and pious girl and a member of the Methodist church, and continued in attendance at church and Sabbath &hoe' as long as her strength would permit. A short time previous to her death she selected the text for her funeral sermon, and on Sabbath afternoon Rev. Mr. Torrance delivered a very able and impressive sermon to a large and sympathetic congregation at Walton church, manyof those present being deeply affected at every reference to the clear •departed 'one.

A Chicago ' ma, according to the Tribune of that city, used the tele- graph the other day in an odd .way. A visitor whom he had met frequently in New York stepped into his office. It was business as well as inclination to, be exceedingly cordial to the New Yorker, but for the life of him he could not recall the visitor's name. In the midst of the convernation the Chicago man was remInded of aIetegram he had for- gotten to send. Pulling out a blank he sent the following to , his - New York house; ° "What's the name of Jenkins' head man? Can't recall it. He is here." They chatted along f r half an hour, 1 when the answer cam. It read, " Simp- kins." And, now, r. Simpkins it is about time for lunch," remarked the Chicago man. "We'll go oVer to the club. I want you tlo meet some friends of mine over there." East Wawanosh.

Deacon, a near neighbor, on his track towards the river. Mr. Deacon followed so quickly that he saw Mr. Hanna jump into the river, but the river being so high at the time, to rescue him Was impossible.

We shall endeavor.to buy at whatever the price is, enough live hogs during these months to run our pack- ing house, As this business is being neglected during the late winter and spring months, we think those who have hop suitable for our re- quirements will reap a 'big benefit. We want hogs not less than 140 pounds, and not over 220 pounds and will give a handsome price tfor the same. Recollect we shall not buy a dressed hog this winter, whereas we packed 15,000 dressed hogs after January' 1, last winter. J. L.

I was a sufferer for fully nine years. I was troubled with a bad cough and bleeding of the lungs, at times being very bed, and bleeding as much as a pint. My disease had all the symptoms ef consumption, and I was in a very low state. I am pleased that I met with Dr. Washington, of Toronto. It is a miracle to myself and others that 1 have been so fully restored to health. • I was under his treat- ment since the 14th of January, 1888, and now consider myself cured of the disease. I feel no hesitancy in reeornmending Dr. Washington to O any one who may need his services. I shall be very happy to give full particulars to any person whomay be desirous to obtain information on the subject. Yours very gratefully. PETER VVICE, STROUD, Ont. N. B. --Rev.
